Woohooo! Fibre Friday!Big skein! 100% merino- Unspun Single. For this you beat the ever living snot out of your single while washing it, let it dry and take the twist out. It's interesting, but makes the most yummy swatch! It's white and black and pink, but there's not been much sun lately, so my pictures are crappy.Untitled by SpinHeartSpin, on Flickr

(Another terribad photo... I wish the sun would come out!!) Homework! One module for the Master Spinners level 3 course asks for novelty yarn! hurray! less monotony! These are my attempts, only one is a success. (balance, and achieving the affect I was aiming for)Untitled by SpinHeartSpin, on Flickr

Some more homework. Skein for outerwear. 3 ply woollen spun,merino woolUntitled by SpinHeartSpin, on Flickr

And I finally had success re-creating a commercial yarn (or at least as close as I"m going to get, and I'm happy with it.)Untitled by SpinHeartSpin, on Flickr

A galactic batt, inspired by all those pretty pictures of galaxies far far away. It has merino, silk, holographic sparkle and glow in the dark fibresUntitled by SpinHeartSpin, on Flickr

And finally.... (thanks for keeping up til the end!!)My Module 2 - Road of Trials - Journey to the Golden Fleece Fibre Creativity course - This was fun to come up with. I won't bore you all with the words right now. But here's the picture. It's not finished. it to ally need to be set and blocked, but It's all spun so I'm sharing it now.Journey to the Golden Fleece module2- Road of trials by SpinHeartSpin, on Flickr

And that's what I've been doing. And I've been getting calf cramps at night from spinning so much.. lol

Everyones yarns look so nice!! I love them all. I took that big scary leap and ordered my very first REAL spinning wheel, so hopefully next friday i can show you guys that and have something spun up! Soooooooper excited. Lol.

Wow, I admire all these beautiful hand spun yarns. I do have a question: where do you get the wool to start with? Do you all have sheep? Is it already ready to be spun or do you have to work on it first?

That looks awesome Meleriffic!! If you choose to ply off your bobbins, be sure to ply in the opposite direction! Plying will also mitigate the extra twist you have built up in places. (because when you ply, some twist comes out of the singles.)I wish we could all get together and have a spin-in. It would be tons of fun!!
